Abstract
Main and sub-rocker arms mounted on a common shaft and pivotally supported on a cylinder head by a pivot formed at the end of an adjust screw which is provided at one of the main rocker arm. The main and sub-rocker arms are motivated by cams suited for low engine speed and high engine speed operation respectively. A hydraulically operated interlocking device which selectively locks the main and sub-rocker arms together, is controlled by a supply of hydraulic fluid by way of a passage structure formed in the adjust screw and a pivot seat in which the pivot is received.
